Comparing leak-resistant root canal fillings in single-rooted teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests which type of gutta purcha (rubber-like filling) and bioceramic sealer (a special cement) best seals root canals to prevent leakage after a root canal. The results could help dentists choose materials that reduce the risk of infection and improve success of root canal treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tooth that has one root and a fully grown root tip.
- The tooth is already extracted (removed) — this is a lab study, not a treatment.
- There are no major blockages inside the root that prevent treatment.
- There is no sign of the root dissolving from inside or outside.
- The cavity (if any) does not reach the floor of the pulp chamber.
- The root tip is not left open (it is fully formed).

This trial compares two types of root canal filling materials—bioceramic and calcium hydroxide—to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a tooth with a live but inflamed nerve, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of fillings used after a root canal to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you have a tooth with severe, constant pain that needs a root canal, this trial may help find the best option for you.
This study compares two types of root canal filling materials—a resin-based sealer and a bioceramic sealer—to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a tooth with a painful, infected nerve (irreversible pulpitis), this trial may help determine which filler offers better comfort.
This study is comparing two different materials used to fill the tooth after a root canal to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a front tooth or a premolar and you don't have pain or swelling, this trial may help find the gentler option for you.
This study compares two different methods of filling root canals after the nerve has been removed. It aims to see which method causes less pain and swelling after the procedure.
This study looks at how well a bioceramic sealing material works for tooth root-canal treatment, including cases where previous treatment did not work. If you have certain types of tooth nerve inflammation or infection, you may be eligible to help compare outcomes and improve care.
